Our market development work is important to achieving our statutory objective to promote competition in, reliable supply by and the efficient operation of the electricity industry for the long-term benefit of consumers.

If an anomalous event or outcome occurs in the market or the broader electricity sector, we investigate it to determine the causes and whether something can or should be done to prevent such an event or outcome from occurring again.

Consultations

We are proposing to make a number of discrete amendments to various parts of the Code. The proposed amendments do not generally relate to each other, and do not warrant separate consultation processes. We have therefore decided to progress them together as one “omnibus” Code amendment, in one consultation paper. This paper presents the Authority’s third Code Review Programme and latest set of omnibus changes to the Code.

The consultation paper also includes an appendix listing ‘minor’ amendments that we also intend to make at the same time as the more substantive proposed amendments on which we are consulting.
